Hunted: Enemies of the Empire

[airwalkrr]

Ah yes, Bata says wrenching his hands, Truly I expected Zin's Renegades to be so mercenary, unfortunately however, he makes a slight grimace, I really don't have the credits to pay you right now. As if anticipating your anger, he jumps up and puts out his hands as if to calm you, But don't worry! I am certain Senator Entress will reimburse you when we arrive in Denouva! And speaking of Senator Entress, you are correct that I promised you information. That I am happy to deliver.

He sits back down and blinks several times in rapid succession. The Senator is an old friend of mine. Well, I guess you could say he is more of an acquaintance, but he knew me well enough to request my services when he realized he was in hot water. He has never been a fan of Palpatine's heavy-handed policies and certainly didn't support his rise to Emperor. That is why he is afraid Darth Vader's upcoming visit is for more than mere pleasantries. You see, Senator Entress is suspected to know the location of Obi-Wan Kenobi and he suspects Vader realizes this. Even though the official position of the Empire is that Kenobi is dead, there are a number of rumors that place him somewhere in the Outer Rim shortly after Order 66 was issued. Darth Vader has been making a number of trips recently to the systems of Senators who did not welcome Palpatine with open arms. Many of the Senators have found their attitudes suddenly changed after his arrival while others... he pauses and looks down at the floor, well, I'm certain you have heard at least a few of the stories. Entress has few friends now even on his home planet and he needs a discreet way to leave the system. He requested that I bring a ship capable of transporting him and at least one or two friends elsewhere before Vader arrived. And now we are here.

Trangle sits down and enters a Force Trance while listening to the crew talk. He mulls over the encounter in the bar as well as the up and coming mission, and perhaps that he still has a way to go to more fully hear the will of the Force and what it truly means to be a Jedi.

Ah yes, Bata says wrenching his hands, Truly I expected Zin's Renegades to be so mercenary, unfortunately however, he makes a slight grimace, I really don't have the credits to pay you right now.

Nyub chuckles and shakes his head, almost as if he expected this. "Bata, you didn't hire Zin's Space Scouts. You hired Zin's Renegades. The name kinda says it all. Now, keep in mind you were never part of the deal with Zin. You refused to supply the information we needed unless we got you off planet, for which you offered us 1000 credits each. We have lived up to our end of the bargain. As far as I'm concerned, that is your personal debt to pay. If you can get this senator to cover it for you, great. We're all square. If he refuses, then you still owe us our fee. And your life.

Also, I don't know about the rest of the group, but I'm going to have a hard time doing any favors that you agreed to if you haven't paid up. So, let's be sure we get the order correct. First we get paid, then we'll do this unknown favor for your nefarious, old friend, says Nyub, seriously.

"Now, you've told us a lot about who we're meeting and why. I certainly see now why he needed Zin's help. What do you know about how we're contacting him? Is there a pre-set meeting place or will we set it up when we get there?" Nyub asks, concerned about the security of the contact.

[sblock=FreeXenon]With the expenditure of 1 Force Point, you remove one dark side point.[/sblock]

So free with your tongue, Sullustan. May I remind you that without my ship, we would still be stuck on Bespin. And I'm not the only one who knows you work for Zin, either. You put your life at risk the moment you agreed to work with him, whether you realized it or not. So let's not squabble about who owes who what. You will get the payment I promised, one way or another. The fact that I do not have it now is merely an inconvenience.

Bata relaxes and pours himself a brandy. Then he addresses Nyub's other concerns. We are to meet with Mithos Fuldin. He is one of Senator Entress' confidantes. Mithos will take us to Entress under the radar. Then, we can formulate a plan with Entress for how to escape the system.

Horst perks up at the mention of credits. "Look, I know I just hopped on and all, but I'm a pretty good shot and a helluva good mechanic. I'd love to be a part of the whole "Save the Galaxy" thing you've got here and you know, the payday part, too."

 

[airwalkrr]

You were quite useful in the fight, Horst, Bata says, I imagine your help in getting us to the Senator would have to count for something. I believe a small reward might be in order. And if you wish more, perhaps these might extend an invitation for you to join Zin's Renegades. But of course, that is up to them.

 

[Max]

So free with your tongue, Sullustan.... So let's not squabble about who owes who what..... The fact that I do not have it now is merely an inconvenience.

Nyub just looks back at Bata, refraining from mentioning several flaws in Bata's reasoning. Instead he merely says, "I've found that speaking plainly helps avoid misunderstandings later."

 

[airwalkrr]

If you have no more questions about our plan, Bata says standing up, I'm going to retire to my chambers for a bit of rest before we arrive in Denouva.

Trangle (Male Ithorian Jedi); HP 30/30 (12)

Trangle will spend most of his time in (assumedly) his own room meditating and practicing. He will come out mostly for food and bathroom breaks. Towards the end of the trip he will come out and socialize more.

The Ithorian will approach Horst and ask "Stow away much?"
